Musea Art Contest 6/29/09

Matisse and Picasso were both rivals and great friends. They were also arguably the best artists of the century. Each influenced the other more than the other would admit. Let's go back in time. Picasso just unveiled his new picture, the groundbreaking masterpiece that would change the world of art forever, "Les Demoiselles, d'Avignon". What was Matisse's reaction when he first saw the work?

IS
(After seeing the work) "Matisse and Leo Stein burst out laughing and mocked Picasso's incoherent attempts to explain his intentions." (from a letter to Kahnweiler of June 1912. Interpreting Matisse Picasso, by Cowling). Ouch!

We had no winner, Seems y'all's brains were in a cubist condition!
